Looking to print in our labs and can't find your printing funds?
Posted by Adam Smeets on 13 January 2014 08:23 AM
Printing funds are only available after class registration closes. All Loyola students will receive $3.50 of Uniprint Funds on their Loyola IDs for printing; however, this will not be added to your Loyola ID card until after class registration closes. In the meantime, as you need to print (schedules, syllabi, etc.), you are welcome to use "Add Rambler Bucks" online through the Campus Card office's website or visit a nearby VTS machine to add cash to your ID card.

Digital Media Services implemented a new series of training components that are required to reserve/check out specific equipment in the Loan Program - the first of which are the Canon 5D Mark II cameras. The online training sessions include videos, narrated PowerPoint slides and assessment quizzes. We hope to reduce fines associated to misuse and other accidental damage through these sessions. After completing the training, students, faculty and staff will have access to reserve and checkout these devices - we'll add access for you to reserve the specific equipment within 24 hours (Monday - Friday).

Having problems printing from your personal device to Loyola's printers? Using a Mac? 10.8? We have a workaround!
Posted by Adam Smeets on 17 September 2013 02:56 PM
Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion) The biggest problem with version 8.1 of the Pharos Popup Client under Mac OS X 10.8 is that it does not automatically start at boot time. It may have worked for you immediately after you installed it, but after you rebooted your machine the Popup window would no longer pop up, and print jobs stay in the printer's queue on your computer forever. This work-around will manually add the Pharos Popup Client to your Login Items, causing it to launch whenever you log in. This should resolve the "Popup Client not running" problem until we receive an updated version from the vendor that works with 10.8.
When printing to a Pharos printer on Mac OS, you normally are presented with a "Popup" window asking for your Kerberos username, and a name for the print job. This window is presented by an application called "Popup", which normally starts at boot time. In rare cases, this application can crash. The easiest option is to reboot the Mac. If that doesn't work, you can launch the "Popup" application manually – it can be found in/Library/Application Support/Pharos/. You may need to delete the failed job from the print queue.

Novel Sample Holder for Solid and Liquid Luminescent Samples
Volume 42, Number 1 (Jan. 1988) Page 173-174
Burrell, Gregory J.; Hurtubise, Robert J.
Several instrumental modifications for sample-retaining and sample-positioning devices for spectrofluorimeters for solid-surface room-temperature fluorescence (RTF) or solid-surface room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) analyses have been described. In our laboratory, experiments in which a large number of samples adsorbed on thin-layer chromatoplate sections were examined for RTF and RTP prompted the development of a sample holder device incorporating several unique design features.

Pastor's Corner
November 25, 2008
One of the most beautiful Psalms of thanksgiving is the 100th Psalm. "Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God.
"It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."
We are a nation of people that God truly has blessed. We should be at the top of those who "give thanks to him and praise his name."
If we were to begin a thanksgiving list, my list would include — life, health, family, friends and our nation, despite its flaws.
But more than that, I'm thankful for my salvation, our church family and God's mercy and love. With Jesus we have so much to celebrate on Thanksgiving.
But has it ever occurred to you that no Americans were more underprivileged than that group from the Mayflower who started the custom of setting aside a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God?
They had no homes and no government agency to help them build homes. They had no means of transportation but their legs.
Their only food came from the sea or the forest, and they had to get it for themselves. They had no amusements except what they made, no means of communication with their relatives in England, no social security or Medicare.
But anyone who dared called them underprivileged would probably have ended up in the stocks because they had four of the greatest human assets: initiative, courage, willingness to work and a boundless faith in God.
Our forefathers had "a boundless faith in God."
That sounds strange today in a time when powerful forces are working in our nation to strip us of every reminder that the very foundation of our nation was built upon the conviction that we are …
"One nation, under God."
This Thanksgiving let's make sure we stay that way.
— Dan Eller is pastor at Heartland Nazarene Church.

Photofocus Episode 86
Host: Scott Bourne (www.scottbourne.com or www.twitter.com/scottbourne)
Show notes by Bruce Clarke (www.momentsindigital.com or www.twitter.com/bruceclarke)
Welcome to Episode Number 86 of Photofocus with Scott Bourne. Photofocus is the show devoted to your questions about anything photography related including gear, technique, locations, etc. Your questions will shape the direction of this show so be sure to send your questions to [email protected]. We will try to answer as many as we can but we get a lot of questions so we'll try to take a collection of questions that represent a particular topic and present them together.
This week we kick things off with a question about HDR:
Question One – What is HDR
Maggie Burk from London writes: What is HDR? I am new to digital photography and everyone seems to talk about it.
Scott: HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. What it means is that when you are in a situation where the contrast is too broad, you take multiple photographs at different exposures and combine them in software to see the entire dynamic range. What makes it looks good is the 2nd step called tone mapping.
Question Two – Where to Get Film Processed
Oscar Spearman from Atlanta, Georgia asks: I recently purchased a vintage film camera – my first. Do you have recommendations on where to have the negatives processed? What are your thoughts about local pharmacies that develop, like CVS, etc? I'd like to get a DVD or CD and prints.
Scott: Film labs are going away. I used to have dozens I could refer you to but now there are only a couple. My experience with the drug stores is generally not good but if you're just messing around then I wouldn't worry about it. Costco might be an option to check out. If you are doing it professionally then I would suggest finding a professional lab in your area. It will be expensive because there just aren't a lot of people doing it but you could always develop your own. Check with your local professional camera store.

Question Three – Filters
Gabriel from Puerto Rico asks: I hear all the time about having a good glass to get better pictures, but what about the filters? Could a filter affect picture quality? Is there any specification we need to watch out for in terms of quality, etc?
Scott: You do need to pay attention to the filter. People will often save up for a $1500 lens and put a $15 in front of it. Look for premium brands like B+W which are made with optical glass. Some of the high end plastic filters from folks like Singh Ray are pretty good as well but optical glass filters generally deliver the best results.
Question Four – Lenses with Bigger Diameters
Alexandre Oliveira from Portugal writes: I would like to know why some lenses have bigger diameters then others. For instants, the Canon 10-22 mm has 77mm and the 70-200 f/4 L USM has 67mm.
Scott: Basic reason is just that the lens elements have to be larger in certain cases to gather more light. Look at a 400mm f2.8 compared to a 400mm f5.6. Buy the largest filter you can find and then buy step down rings to use it on smaller lenses.
Question Five – Looking at Bad Photography
Thomas Emmerich Oxnard, CA asks: If looking at lots of good photographs can make you a better photographer, can looking at bad photographs make you worse? If yes, how do you know the difference? (I hope the answer is no)
Scott: I don't think it will make you worse. If you're looking at photographs published by main stream press, they aren't going to be bad pictures. Looking at published photographs will get you thinking about composition, lighting, storytelling, etc.

Question Six – What is Portrait Photography
Oscar Camejo writes: I'd like to focus on becoming a portrait photographer. What is portrait photography?
Scott: Portrait photography is taking photographs of a person. A person in almost any setting is a portrait. When you start taking portraits you start telling stories.
Question Seven – What is a 2nd Shooter
Bob Panick from Gibraltar, Michigan asks: I've heard the term "Second Shooter" at weddings, and while I have a pretty good idea what it might be, could you elaborate on the term?
Scott: A 2nd shooter is the person who helps out the photographer who got the job to shoot the wedding. A 2nd shooter is there to help lighten the load. Often they are there to learn. If you are planning to be a 2nd shooter, have a frank discussion with the first photographer to know what you can do with the photographs.
Question Eight – Lens and Flash Recommendations
Patsy Thomack from Sheboygan WI: On your recommendation I purchased a Nikon D7000 in January and love it. I mainly shoot outdoor sports, but I have been asked to make candid photos for a fund raiser that will be held this fall. It is an evening event, held inside a large tent with average to below average indoor lighting. I figure this is the perfect opportunity to try out Borrow Lenses. I am looking to rent a nice wide angle lens, as my widest is a 50mm, 1.4. I have a SB600, which I have never been able to work well with, so I would like advice on an external flash as well, 700? 800? 900?
Scott: SB900 is my favourite flash for the Nikon. As far as a wide lens, something around the 20-24mm should be just fine. You don't want to get too wide when photographing people or you start to get barrel distortion on the sides.
Sponsor – Borrowlenses
I've sold off a lot of my gear and I now rent the gear that I need for a job from Borrowlenses.com.
Question Nine – Setting White Balance when Shooting Sunsets
Penny Durham from Sydney asks: How do you set white balance when shooting sunsets? without a neutral surface to use for a custom WB, should i set a particular Kelvin value?
Scott: It really depends on what you like. Do you want your image to be cooler or warmer. For consistency, I start out at around 5000K. Feel free to experiment with different settings and see what you like best.
Question Ten – Trouble Photographing Landscapes
Mark Mercer from Derby Uk writes: I thought I had moved passed a beginner photographer but feel I'm still making a rookie mistake when photographing landscapes with a blue sky and white fluffy clouds. It's always over exposed in relationship to the foreground or it's exposed well and the foreground is underexposed. I've tried grad filters but with no real improvement. I must be doing something wrong?
Scott: You may be in a situation where you have a dynamic range that exceeds the cameras capability. If you have a scene with more than 5 stops difference then you'll never get it right – unless you use HDR. Try shooting a 3-stop HDR next time and see what results you end up with.
Question Eleven – Photographing & Selling Photos of Pro Motor Sports
Chuck Schultz from Anniston, AL: I'm starting to shoot cars and bikes on track at local road courses. The idea is to sell to the participants, who always seem anxious to have photos of their exploits, but there could be other uses for a good shot. It's pretty clear to me that a rider on a bike is clearly identifiable, and I should probably get a release before using a shot for stock or other commercial use. I'm not so clear about race cars or even track day cars, however. Do I need a written release to sell car photos for other than personal or journalistic purposes? Also, are there special considerations with pro events? Do the teams, sponsors, or sanctioning bodies retain rights to photos?
Scott: I cannot provide legal advise. I am going to be shooting an Indy and a NASCAR event here in Las Vegas. By them granting me the access to the track to shoot the photos, they automatically acquire the rights to use the photographs however they would like. As for teams, that is generally not the case but that depends on the event. Typically once you get your photography pass you'll get all the details. In terms of releases, I can't give you legal advice but I generally get releases all the time.
Question Twelve – Average Lifespan of a Shutter
Michael Fey from Syracuse, NY: I recently upgraded myself from a point and shoot to the Nikon D3100. Within the first few weeks of owning the camera I've already released the shutter over 3,000 times. My question is this: What is the average expected lifespan of the shutter on a camera? Am I in danger of wearing out my amazing new piece of gear before it's first birthday? Are there any tips to extending its lifespan?
Scott: Check your manual and it will tell you how many times your shutter is rated for. It's usually between 100,000 to 150,000 shutters. In terms of extending it's lifespan, only operate the camera within the specs you'll find in the camera manual.
Question Thirteen – Tips for Outdoor Wedding Photography
Nate Knudtson from Swanville MN: Any tips as far as going about my first outdoor wedding shoot? I have done some sports photography but not as much portraits, etc.
Scott: Try to get to shoot closer to sunrise or sunset. When that happens, find shade and try to avoid mottled shade. Get tight and get close. Expressions sell every time. Concentrate on the bride. Protect your gear when you're outside. You could bring diffusers and scrims to block out or soften harsh light.
Sponsor – Smug Mug
SmugMug is a great place to store your images and videos online. Check out www.smugmug.com.
Question Fourteen – Watermarking and Signing Images
Timothy Andrews: When is it appropriate to watermark and/or place a "signature" on an image and when is it not?
Scott: In my opinion, it's always appropriate when you are sharing your image online above 500px. As far as a signature, that's usually appropriate when you sell a print.
Question Fifteen – Clean Reflections when Photographing Cars
Car photo question – I was wondering if you have any tips for getting clean reflections on paint and chrome-work when you are shooting outside the studio? I often don't realize that a great shot has been ruined by an ugly reflection until I get the file on the computer. I'm thinking of investing in some large screens/reflectors, do you think this would be a good way to go? Steve Ashdown
Scott: Those reflections are typically specular hi lites. Try using a circular polarizer as these will help to cut down on those reflections. You can also try setting up a scrim.

Anyway here are some pictures of them enjoying a splash, and nice cold drink. Have any funny or cute pictures of your pets? We would love to see them, so upload them and share.
